HELP - Can the port stream based provider work in a tab application loaded by the extension?

[javaspeak]

Can the port stream based provider work in a tab application loaded by the extension?

i.e. when a background script opens a chrome extension app in a tab - can the chrome extension app connect to MetaMask?

I am not talking about content scripts. I am talking about a chrome extension app opening in a new tab.

The reason I wanted to connect to the web browser version of metamask in the tab was so that it is associated with the extension url:

chrome-extension://oahhaapnfpkfnbgeopliehfgenifngde/tab.html#register

and not the url the content script happens to be on.

If it is not possible to connect to Meta Mask in a chrome extension tab app, then is there another way to connect the meta mask browser wallet to a domain url like:

chrome-extension://oahhaapnfpkfnbgeopliehfgenifngde/tab.html#register

I am super struggling finding the answers to this so if anyone can help me I will be super happy.

Thanks for your time.

Anyone?

Hi @javaspeak, sorry for the late reply. MetaMask has a "full-screen view" that opens in another tab, and ports work across extension-related views, so it should be possible to do what you say. But if you are having trouble, could you give us more information on what you've tried so we can help you further?

@divinit7 Not sure what you mean by "progress" here, but are you having a similar issue?
